When the Shendu court was busy because of the Turkic silent slurp, Chang'an Xingtai also received the relevant letter, even a few days earlier than the official channels of the Shendu court.

Although the prefectures and counties of Hedong Province are not under the jurisdiction of Xingtai, they have very close exchanges with each other. Especially in the case that the Shendu Imperial Court deliberately suppressed the import of the Yellow River to Guannei, Hedong Road was one of the most important passages for the entry and exit of materials in Guanzhong.

Bu Duxingtai has organized a large purchasing team to be active in the prefectures and counties of Hedong Province, and the wealthy families in Hedong are also actively involved in the business and trade affairs in the Guannai. In particular, there was the attraction of the World Expo before this year, and the construction plan of the three surrendered cities after that, which made the personnel and material exchanges between Guannai and Hedong closer.

Therefore, when the traces of the Turkic bandit army appeared in the northern area of Hedong Province, the relevant information was transmitted to Chang'an almost immediately.

Compared with the panic of the Shendu Imperial Court after receiving the news, Chang'an Xingtai is much more calm in accepting and handling this news, whether it is the discussion of relevant events or the implementation of coping strategies, they are all orderly.

But not everyone is so calm, at least His Royal Highness King Yongwang was so angry that he wanted to scold his mother after learning about this.

In the middle of winter, although the fall of several heavy snowfalls has brought a lot of trouble to the transportation of people and goods in various places, so that some business operations have come to a standstill, but the platform itself has established a fairly solid logistics foundation, which is enough to bear a considerable degree of risk.

Taking advantage of the afterglow of the World Expo's income generation, many government-built factories were expanded before the depths of winter, and many Ding Li in the surrounding countryside were recruited during the winter leisure season to produce charcoal, felt tents and other cold seasonal products. As a result, the people did not lose their livelihood, and the materials produced not only met the consumption of Chang'an and the surrounding border areas, but also continuously transported energy to the north to support the military and civilians of Hequ.

Before the snowfall, tens of thousands of soldiers gathered in Gyeonggi, which brought a lot of pressure to the supply of materials in Gyeonggi, but also reduced the pressure on the state and county.

This year, Zhuzhou and county have vigorously expanded their households and taken care of the displaced people, and at the time of the severe winter and the near-disaster of snow, the prefecture and county regiments and soldiers gathered in Gyeonggi, and this part of the material consumption for raising the army can be saved, which can be used to provide relief to a new group of newly attached households, so that there is no large-scale freezing disaster in the Guannai prefectures.

Although it is difficult to endure the heavy snowfall, when the spring warms up next year, the snow melts and moistens the soil, and the plough will be ploughed in the coming year. In addition, the timely and effective relief of local governments can ensure that the entire Kannai Province people's livelihood cannot be called Yanran, but it can also ensure the maintenance of order.

Although Chang'an City is crowded with people, the material is not rich, and even all kinds of unnecessary expenses in the Yongwang Mansion have been cut a lot. But compared with the previous years, this year he can still stay at home, be accompanied by his family, and occasionally go to the workshop to eat a few warm and soft meals, Li Tong can also be called quite comfortable during this time.

The most direct manifestation of this comfort is that the wives and concubines in the house have become pregnant and ready to give birth. Li Tong is also quite pleased with this, and he often has a simple smile like an old farmer on his face when he enters and exits. In previous years, everything was busy, and there was little leisure and leisure, but once there was enough room to play, my small motor was also very good.

Born in the world, no matter what ambition is, the wife and children are hot kang is also the most basic pursuit. Therefore, in addition to going to Xingtai every day to deal with some military and political affairs, he rests at home when he is free, occasionally drives a vest to enter the workshop and is hooped to a backache, and even designs a few sketches of lanterns by himself, which is not without imagination for the coming year's festival.

Therefore, when the news of Mo Si's entry into the Kou reached Chang'an, the feeling was like being suddenly pulled out of the warm quilt in the cold winter wax moon, which made people feel a sense of irritability from the inside out.

"Today's military affairs discussion, only to kill the silent sip first! The rest should be planned, no need to speak freely! ”

In the Xingtai political affairs hall, Li Tong said murderously after sitting down.

As soon as these words came out, all the people in the hall showed embarrassment, and Tang Xian, the general of the Chinese army, chose to stand up and fork his hands and said: "Xingtai armor is prosperous, soldiers are thirsty to fight, and if you get a fighter, you will not be willing to be the queen!" However, this time he silently provoked, thousands of miles away from the jurisdiction of Taiwan, even if the soldiers walked through the snow to chase the enemy, the grain and straw along the way needed to be supplemented by prefectures and counties. Now the imperial court has not arrived in Taiwan, once the army is lightly released, I am afraid that the strategy will be lost! ”

As he spoke, there were already scribes who hung up the route map of the Turks' march into the Kou, of course, it was only brief, mainly because the personnel who were stationed in Hedong Prefecture and County, including the merchants and wealthy households in the territory, presented and summarized.

Because there is no reliable and systematic official information, the route of the bandit army is also intricate and intermittent, and it is not so much a road map for the Turkic bandit army to enter the army as a personnel sketch for the march from the platform to the east of the river.

Li Tong has been in charge of the military plane for a long time, and the basic military literacy is still there, seeing that this drawing is so messy, he couldn't help frowning, picked up the copy and flipped through it carefully, and found that there were many mistakes in the recorded traces of thieves, such as the traces of thieves at the end of November were still in Shuozhou, but almost at the same time, there were also traces of thieves in Xinzhou.

The time has been confused, and the description of the enemy's strength is even more discrepant, some say that there are no more than a thousand people, and some tell the huge number of people. Such messy enemy information is naturally not enough to formulate any counterattack strategy based on it.

After Li Tong looked at it for a while, he casually threw the letter aside. Instead, he picked up a relatively reliable letter that had been screened and streamlined by the staff and flipped through it.

This letter is relatively credible because it is the content submitted by the intelligence officers directly dispatched by the government. But relatively speaking, it is simply pitiful, with only seven or eight contents, which is not enough to outline the whole picture of the Turkic army.

For example, the earliest telegram was sent from Yunzhou in mid-November, saying that the Turks first infiltrated Shan Yu Duhu Mansion with scattered soldiers, and then rebelled through Shan Yu Duhufu's emptiness, and it is difficult to have an intuitive judgment of the specific strength of troops.

The next letter was sent from Shuozhou more than half a month later, talking about the Turkish thousand horsemen plundering the horses. As for the route of the Turks, whether they were divided into troops and plundered, and so on, there is no such thing.

This situation is not due to the fact that the intelligence officers in the Taiwan are not doing their best enough or are not capable enough. If a huge river east province wants to form a complete intelligence system, it will not be possible without the cooperation of official forces.

Moreover, this winter is very cold, not only Guanzhong is snowing heavily, but these intelligence personnel in Xingtai are all carrying out activities, collecting and transmitting intelligence in their private capacities, and there is no way to borrow a complete post transmission system, and it is not easy to transmit information back to Chang'an. It's one-sided, and it's really helpless.

Li Tong was originally angry because the Turks had entered the Kou again, but after seeing this messy information, his emotions gradually calmed down. Although the Guannai is already a gathering of armor soldiers, they don't know anything about the enemy, and they really can't rush to send troops.

After a moment of silence, he commanded again: "The troops of Jinnei will first select 5,000 elite soldiers to enter the Tongzhou River to stand by, so that the scouts will visit the county government offices of Zhuzhou along the way to the east of the river and ask about the enemy's situation." In addition, 20,000 Chinese troops entered the Jingyang camp, and when the time came, they would go out to reinforce Hedong. He also told Yao Yuanchong that he must not let the soldiers cross the river to fight without a conclusive military plane. The western city continued to be built, the construction period of the central and eastern cities was suspended, and the soldiers returned to Hanoi and were not allowed to linger. ”

Although the military situation about the Turkic invasion of the invaders is messy and unreliable, it also gives a fatal message, that is, the frost and cold fell early this autumn, the grazing period in the southern part of the desert ended early, and the northern prefectures generally suffered snowstorms, and the herdsmen suffered heavy losses.

In other words, the silent entry into the Kou is just a signal, if the Tang side does not deal with it properly, it is very likely that the southern Zhuhu Prefecture will rise one after another, forming a continuous impact on the inland states.

"Immediately go to the divine capital, your majesty is on standby, as soon as the imperial court order is issued, it will be sent back immediately! Tell King Lu of Shaanzhou to communicate with the courtiers and get the military information of the thief army as soon as possible! ”

If there is no military order from the imperial court, even if the Xingtai army enters Hedong, it will be difficult to use the official power of the prefectures and counties in Hedong. In the case that Mo Si has already entered the army and has grasped the tactical initiative, if the power of the local government cannot be used militarily, it will be an inner state and an enemy territory for the Xingtai army.

But in the past few days, Li Tong has seen a lot of his fourth uncle's various operations, and he really doesn't have any confidence in this clever plan. Therefore, in addition to sending envoys to war, arrangements were made for reserves. If the imperial court is not allowed to go to Taiwan, then let his second brother Li Shouli bribe the courtiers to steal the military plane, as a reference for the future plan of the station.

The Hedong Prefectures were empty, and Li Tong naturally knew that once he was swept away by the Turkic thief army, the order destruction brought about would be more than temporary.

The reason why he built the city of Sanshou in advance was to establish the strategic initiative of the Tang army in Shuofang. If the order of Hedong Province is destroyed, then the Monan Zhuhu Prefecture under the jurisdiction of the Duhufu will also see the weakness and emptiness of the Tang Dynasty in this area, which will make the Mo Nan Hu mood restless and difficult to control, and the strategic value of the three surrendered cities will be greatly reduced.

At present, it is inconvenient for the army to go down to Taiwan, and after a little silence, Li Tong instructed Zhang Jiazhen to be the envoy to Taiwan, and with his warrant, he went to Puzhou, Jiangzhou and other places to visit and convene all the old clothes and society to return to Taiwan and return to their hometowns, including some smuggling escort forces, in the name of Xiangyi to reinforce and merge with the state, and to ensure that Taiyuan, a landmark in the northern capital, is not invaded.

Of these returning forces in Hedong Province, Li Tong was originally going to be a surprise soldier in the Shendu, but now it is obvious that the safety of Hedong is more important.

He also did not underestimate the mobilization and levy ability of the Shendu Imperial Court, believing that the Imperial Court did not have enough strength to deal with the chaos in Hedong. The key is that he is worried that his fourth uncle will be ambitious, thinking that defeating Mo Si is not majestic enough, and he wants to make some big moves in the north, which will cause greater turmoil.

Once there is any erosion in the north, then there is no need to do any strange tricks, the army will go straight out of Tongguan, you can't, Lao Tzu come!
